3rd time's the charm...

So the big reaction we keep getting when telling people we're having boy #3 is that "that's great! You already have all the stuff!" Um, not quite true. We got rid of EVERY vestige of baby stuff last spring/summer - we had no plans for expanding our family, so figured we'd free up attic space and move out of the baby phase of our lives. We even gave away all the clothing up to 24 months, and only started holding onto the clothing when we found out that friends of ours were expecting a boy.

So, we're starting from scratch. In a way, I'm glad that Liam won't be just the "leftovers" baby. Don't get me wrong, I'm ALL for handmedowns, but he deserves to have nice stuff just as much as the other two, right? At least if he does get stuck with a lot of second-hand stuff, he'll be the best off in terms of being the child who was brought up when Nick and I had the most experience.

Anyway, I've been in the store, picking out some new things, and it just never gets old. I'm amazed how many things have gotten nicer since Riley and even Elliot was born. All kinds of bells and whistles, cute little gadgets, I'm realizing how much fun it will be to have a baby again.

The boys still say hello to him every day, Elliot asks me: "Can I talk at your baby? Can I talk at Wee-um?" It's fun to have the older children understanding what's going on this time, engaged with the pregnancy and aware of their little brother on the way.

I'm going to start trying to crochet a blanket later today, I'll try and take some photos and show you my progress at some point!!

That's it for now - sorry for the long and winding post, all!
